In mid‑July, New Zealand driver Matt Payne posted the fastest time in qualifying to take provisional pole for the Townsville 500, signalling his strong form in the Supercars series. By early August, Payne built on that momentum at the Perth Supercars weekend. He secured pole position for both races at Wanneroo Raceway, converted the front‑row start into a victory in Race 1, and finished second in Race 2, widening his lead in the championship standings. Further details from the same Perth event confirm that Payne entered the final race with a 107‑point advantage over rival Broc Feeney. Although Feeney overtook Payne on lap 28 of Race 2 to claim his fifth win of the season, Payne’s win‑and‑second finish still extended his championship lead to 107 points.
